Reply to "Slave Adjustment"

When you push the piston into the cylinder with the bleeder open, you are just displacing the fluid out of the bleeder screw and not back into the system. The return spring should push the piston back into the slave cylinder until the adjustment screw "bottoms out". If the pin were removed from the push rod, you should be able to push the piston (with some effort) all the way into the slave cylinder until it bottoms. The brake fluid would be displaced back into the master cylinder reservoir. There could be something blocking the fluid flow from properly returning to the master cyl. The master cyl push rod might be adjusted too long, or there could be something inside the bottom of the slave cyl.

The correct length for the stock slave cyl push rod is 3.07" to 3.09" (~ 3-1/16" to 3-3/32"). It is measured from the center of the eye to the end that contacts the piston. I don't know if it is the same dimension for the long throw slave.
